sosolid Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 can the valve seals be changed without taking the head off? Quote
Phil Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Compressed air or rope in the cylinder to keep the valve upOverhead spring leverSortedPhil Quote
Calum122 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Used rope the other weekend. And a pair of pliers and a pair of helping hands. Easy enough to do. No need to remove cambelt from crank if it's all marked up properly. A tool to remove the collets is a much welcomed tool! Quote

Calum122 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah I used a socket with a magnet inside that caught the keepers. Did lose a few so it's handy to buy some spares. Quote
_shaun_ Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 i done mine last weekend and bought a blue point tool designed to just this. most my time was wasted trying to get the rope down the bores the actualy stem seals only took about 30seconds to change each. Quote
Calum122 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Make sure you coat the new stem seals in oil before fitting. Quote
